Good article up at Seeking Alpha about Canada Carbon's $CCB aggressive legal strategy to deal with activists trying to derail its Miller project in Grenville-sur-la-Rouge, Quebec.

Here's an excerpt:

"Some mining companies are willing to dig in for the long haul and accept the idea that the activists have the power to block a project for years, if not decades. Often on advice of counsel, companies adopt a passive, compliant, stance hoping that, in time, the process will “work” and their project will be allowed to proceed.

Canada Carbon (V.CCB) took a much more aggressive approach when activist factions in the community of Grenville-sur-la-Rouge (GSLR), the closest community to CCB’s proposed graphite mine and marble quarry, worked with the municipality to oppose the project.

Back in December of 2016, CCB received the unanimous endorsement of the GSLR municipal council for its proposed graphite mine and marble quarry. At the time CEO R. Bruce Duncan remarked, “The approval of the Project by the Municipality of Grenville-sur-la-Rouge is a significant milestone in the permitting process required for the development of the Miller Project. Their unanimous approval will provide foundational support as we proceed with Project permitting.”
